Designed to tackle sediment and particulate contamination, the NPF-BB-10-1 Nelsen Dirt Cartridge offers a reliable and efficient filtration solution for your water treatment setup. This 9-3/4 inch, 1-micron pleated cartridge is engineered to protect your system from dirt and debris, ensuring longer equipment life and improved water quality.

Key Benefits

• Protects your system from sediment buildup, preventing damage to downstream equipment.
• Enhances water clarity by effectively capturing particles as small as 1 micron.
• Durable pleated design extends filter life and reduces replacement frequency.
• Compatible with standard 10-inch big blue filter housings for easy installation.
• Maintains optimal flow rates without compromising filtration efficiency.
• Helps reduce maintenance costs by minimizing clogging and wear on pumps and valves.

How It Works

The NPF-BB-10-1 cartridge uses a 1-micron pleated filter media that traps fine dirt, sand, and other sediment particles suspended in your water supply. As water flows through the pleated surface, contaminants are captured on the filter’s surface, allowing only clean water to pass through. This cartridge fits into big blue filter housings, making it an integral part of your water softener or filtration system by protecting sensitive components from sediment damage.

Its pleated design increases the surface area available for filtration, which helps maintain steady water flow and extends the cartridge’s service life compared to traditional spun filters.

What to Expect

Once installed, you’ll immediately notice clearer water with reduced sediment and particles. During the first few weeks, the cartridge will efficiently capture contaminants, helping protect your plumbing and appliances. Over time, the pleated structure maintains performance by preventing rapid clogging, allowing for longer intervals between replacements. Regular monitoring and timely cartridge changes will ensure sustained protection and system reliability.

What’s Inside
